Toxic Conservatism
Toxic Conservatism And Toxic Religion Written by TJ Hyland December 27, 2020 Freedom is a spectrum of privilege. It has never been a right to act without consequence, it has and always will be a privilege. In order to achieve equality, the consequences of our actions must have equal weight and equal rights under the law for all citizens of the law. None of us are truly free. We have documentation identifying us as belonging to the state, so freedom is a social construct, and the spectrum of freedom is subjective. Yet, it is a progressive movement we must fight for because tradition aims to keep us, slaves. We may not be able to free our bodies, but we can free our minds. Only when we can do that, can we learn how to change the system.

This Election Result Will Provide a Welcome Breather, But Not Really Address America's Issues in Depth
One of the truest opinions I heard (which I am going to post and not forget, as it summarises what I have studied and analysed for years), voiced by an American lady, follows below:

Violence as a political tool
Violence as a political tool Terrorism is a political weapon Despite the religious claims of some terrorist groups, what all terrorists seek is to force a political change on the nations they try to terrorise. Terrorism is another political tool, one used mostly (but not exclusively) by non democratic governments and non democratic groups, wishing to overthrow a democracy. If the advocates of direct action and physical violence could engage in the democratic process and gain a majority they would not need to destroy life and property. They know they can never peacefully persuade a majority and so they seek to force change by violence. Violence is the tool of those who have lost the argument. Violence has the short term aim of providing localised dominance and the longer term aim of provoking fear. Fear of violence is more effective, politically, than the localised short term physical effects of actual violence. Fear can affect huge numbers of people spread over large areas, fear can influence attitudes as well as actions.

Welcome to Trumplandia
Hey, Donny boy, I’ve had an epiphany. In case you don’t know what that means, I’ll ex— … never mind. Let me just simply say that I have had an idea I would like to share with you. Go away, never come back, and in exchange, you get to become king of Trumlandia. Sound too good to be true? Not in the least, but there are a few caveats you may want to have your best lawyers review. Do you have any left, or are they all in prison? Oh wait, you pardoned them, so they are totally trustworthy!

Dear MR. President
I address you as MR. President because you deserve the respect of being called so. I have been embarrassed and disenchanted with the lack of respect the American media, politicians, and many of my fellow American's have presented since you took office. Never in my memory have I ever been witness to the President of the United States of America continually being addressed or referred to by his given name "Trump", "MR. Trump", "Donald" as you have. It's insulting and passive aggressive behavior to minimize and humiliate you. Since day one I have been witness to continual mocking, slandering and skewing of every move you made so to discredit your achievements while in office and I apologize for this. I find it ironic that after the 2020 election suddenly your referenced as MR. President in all most every media venue or post I see or hear.

Beyond The Red Hat
Written by H M Hines December 12, 2020 Artist - BlackStar If you have a Bootlicker on your holiday shopping list, and we all seem to, you may be stressing out how to get them the perfect gift. Whether it's your uncle, the armchair constitutional law expert, your coworker and resident QAnon groupie, or your brother’s new knock off Tomi Lahren girlfriend, we all have that one person with whom we have so very little in common with on every level, that gifting is nigh impossible. If you picked the wrong name out of the Secret Santa drawing this year and are stuck scrambling for a gift for someone you’d sooner give the finger to than a present, have no fear, we have you covered.
